between a rock and a hard place

December 2023, photography

I was introduced to rock climbing from someone who I unfortunately will never forget. Climbing was a way for us to bond, and it turned in to something I was terrified of doing out of fear of this person. It wasn’t until I moved to college and separated the sport from this person that I was able to see growth. I was able to reclaim the strength, confidence, and community that rock climbing encouraged, all on my own and without fear.
